It's quiet in here. I thought maybe November thread had started, but nope!
I did pretty good this weekend. Drank most of the day Saturday and yesterday but I have not been hungover in like 3 weeks so I consider that success! I'll have my usual 0 on Monday and maybe another, but not making any promises.0 -
It is very quiet. Busy lushes.
Good job on the no hangovers, Ashley. Last time I had one, I promised myself no more. At my age, I just can't deal with them. I did drink more wine than my usual over the weekend, but it was a slow, all day long sipping, so I woke up fine. I didn't sleep very well though, so there is still that balance I'm trying to work out. Overall, I think we are finally getting back to our somewhat normal routine here. The crazy anxiety I was experiencing has subsided to a manageable level (thank you regular exercise? I think that helps) I'm determined to make the holidays enjoyable this year!!1 -
The holidays have never been good for my anxiety issues. I will try to take care of myself- exercise and not over do it on the eating and drinking. Glad to see both Sydney and Ashley doing well! And that Robins issue has resolved. Going to let my lunch settle a bit and then on the the exercise bike. I rode the recumbent trike yesterday but it is too stormy out today. Good grief is it Thanksgiving next week? AHHHHHHHH!0

Gary, I know the holidays are usually people's trigger for anxiety. But I guess my year has been so sh!tty that I'm kind of looking forward to the family time, even though not having my MIL around is going to be hard on everyone. I was listening/singing to music today as I put my groceries away and actually whispered to myself "is this what being happy feels like?" Of course, I could just be certifiable crazy and not know the difference
Talk to me in a couple of weeks when I'm getting my entire house painted and the carpets replaced. I'm sure my tune will change.
Red wine, as usual.0 -
I can't believe next week is Thanksgiving. The storm we had was crazy windy. At least we didn't lose power. So many people did. I have been moderating. Just plugging along. I hope you are all well.0

Hello all. I have been moderating quite well this week. I was going to have a 0 Monday, but got a tattoo and one added onto and I forgot how painful they are! It called for a beer. But only 1. Every other night I've been averaging 2 drinks. Tonight I'm going out with my friends for birthday dinner so likely I'll drink too much. I really want to try to not be hungover though so will try to watch it a little better than usual. I'm on about a 4 week streak of feeling like I am better moderating.
I've got to finish my work day out and a Monday hearing mid-morning and then I'm off until 11/27! Woo hoo!!!
Have a great Thanksgiving lushes!0 -

Hi Lushes!! Glad to see the group is still going strong! I miss it here.
Work has been super busy & I complete forget that I can check the threads on my phone...whoops!
Hope everyone has a wonderful & lushy Thanksgiving!!0 -
Thanksgiving menu. 1st course lobster spring rolls with ponzu or peanut dipping sauces. 2nd course cranberry orange glazed quail with wild rice cranberry stuffing served with rainbow chard. 3rd course Belgian Endive with gorgonzola, pear and walnut salad. 4th course Cabernet Cherry venison with glazed carrots, celery root puree and prosciutto and shallot Brussel sprouts. 5th course black forest cake. this is an all day cook fest and each course is eaten separately. Just me and Doug and wine with every course. And mimosas to start the cooking day off right. I hope you all have an awesome foodie holiday with family and friends. Eat Drynke and be Merrie!0

Wow Robin your menu sounds amazing!
I was successful in moderating the first few days of the week with two on Sunday and a zero last night. I will continue until Thursday when the family will gather at our place for Thanksgiving. After that I plan on moderation. I do feel better in the morning when I havent over done it the night before.0 -
Hi Bridget!!
WOW Robin, that's quite an ambitious menu! Enjoy your day with Doug.
We're headed to trivia night at the brewery this evening. Meeting another couple who's newly married son is in town with his wife. There should be about 10 of us or so. Always a good time and we hope that between us old folks and the millennials, we'll have all the answers and win! (I may sneak in some wine or partake in an edible since I don't really drink beer
)
I'm making a cheesecake for Thanksgiving and bringing the booze. I have it easy0 -
Happy Thanksgiving lushes! 85 degree temps here, we're enjoying my brother's outdoor kitchen/patio today!
:drinker: 0 -
8 am, the calm before the storm. Everyone will arrive here in a few hours. Enjoy Thanksgiving all!

The food all turned out amazing. It took us two days to get thru the menu but it was so worth it. Lots of wine was consumed but it was all good. I hope you all had great Thanksgiving holidays. Now it is on to Yule or Christmas or whatever. Bring it on. I am ready.0
-
I'm avoiding the scale for a few days. Indulged in plenty of carbs and wine. Feeling very sluggish.
I could use a 0. Maybe tonight?0 -
Sounds yummy!
We had fun with family. Drank a bit too much wine, but still knocked out a 5k on Thanksgiving. My diet wasn't awful but not great. May get a couple 0's this week. Starting keto diet so will see how that goes! I think I am only up a pound from a couple weeks ago. And by 2 weeks ago, I mean 2 Monday's ago. Which is always my highest weight day.0 -
We had a very nice Thanksgiving. Had company for a week. Consumed WAY too many carbs. Looking forward to carb detoxing this week. As with some of you- I hope to get a few zeros in this week!0
-
And the week marches on.0
-
Good Thanksgiving here as well but like so many of you- WAY to much alcohol...last night I finally got a zero.
Tonight probably not though, hubby is already teasing me with a nice bottle of red he bought...ugh, I'm so weak.... 0 -
Me too, Ann. We got some cool weather finally, so red wine is perfect. I am upping my exercise though, so do feel better about that.0
-
I got a zero in last night as well! Now if I can string a couple together, and exercise, and watch what I eat....0
-
I have such ambitions when I get up and while driving to work. Then when I get home I have none and non of it gets done. Then I start the cycle over the next day.0
-
I hear you, Robin. Then that's followed up by beating myself up about it. It's not a healthy cycle to put ourselves in.
I'm in the calm before the storm when the painters and carpet guys come next week. I have a list a mile long of things I need to do. Why didn't someone remind me that replacing carpets is pretty much just like moving??!! ACK! The plus side to it all? I'm hoping I burn a few calories doing all this. Which of course will be countered with plenty of wine. :drinker:0 -
thanks Syd. Doug is sick again so it has been a long week. I have been dreaming hard this week about remodeling the kitchen. I Even pretend ordered my cabinets. but there is so much other stuff that needs to be done first. I need an ambition potion that will get my *kitten* in gear.0

Hey lushes. No 0's here but only 1 Monday and 2 each Tuesday/Wednesday.
I've been sticking with the keto diet and am down 3.5 pounds from Monday as of this morning. I know a lot is water weight but I am thrilled and not feeling deprived. Here's to hoping I can not totally derail from the diet and booze moderation this weekend when we head out of town!0 -
I feel ya, Robin. My kitchen needs work as well but I've decided to wait after the holidays. It's just too overwhelming to think about right now.
Congrats, Ashley!! I finally got on the scale and am up 1 1/2 pounds. I'm hoping to take care of that by next week.0
